As my coworkers can probably tell you, I’m always the one opening a granola bar or crunching on an apple, or saying, ‘I need to go to lunch right now, or I’m going to pass out!’I am one of those people who cannot go very long without food, especially in the morning. My low blood sugar will strike when I neglect to eat enough protein for breakfast, or think I am Superwoman and can make it to 1 p.m. without eating.I really can’t.So therefore, I try to make sure I have plenty of snacks with me during the day, and not just snacks, but protein and energy-filled snacks that will keep me going throughout the day.I have a difficult time finding snacks that will keep me from feeling faint or weak toward the middle of the day, but here are a few that will. Don’t forget to pack a cooler to bring them to work!
